What you need: Cardboard or manila folders, old puzzle
pieces, glue.
What you do: Cut frame folders out of cardboard (or use
manila folders): fold cardboard in half to desired frame size, then
cut a window out of one half of your folded cardboard. (Now your frame
has a back attached already.) Let the kids glue whatever you have in
your craft cabinet around the window. I usually use puzzle pieces from
old discarded puzzles--they're colorful, interesting, and FREE! If you
want, print each child's name on your computer (or the theme of the
lesson) with a pretty font and cut them out for the child to glue onto
the frame along with the puzzle pieces. Tip: cut the windows out with a
sharp Exacto knife and a ruler. If you tape the picture inside the
frame with the fold at the top, your frame will be free-standing. If
you want to tape it flat, you can punch holes in the top to string it
through for hanging. Happy crafting!
